How to determine capacity of an object

[Hoggslayer]

not across in diameter (around)

Around???? you mean in circumference?

Fill it up. The calculations will give you a fluid capacity but feed is going to be different.

If 103 is the Circumference then it is a 70 gal tank. Roughly 420 lbs of corn.

[TXBRASS]

47.6 pounds of corn per cubic foot

about 1000#. should be around a 200 gallon tank.

Yep, your right. I forgot a few numbers in my other calculations.

The easiest way is to start pouring feed in it.

102 ciirumfrence=5.74 sq ft
5.74 x 5=28.71 cu ft
50 lb sack is 1.24 cu ft
Will hold 23 bags

1150 lbs

Pi R Sq. x H

3.14 x (51.5x51.5) = 8328.065

8328.065 x height of tank 60 = 499683.9 cubic inches of volume

231 cubic inches per Gallon

499683.9 / 231 = 2163.13 gallons

Corn is roughly 5.99Lbs per gallon so that is 12957.15 pounds of corn.

This is correct. You can divide it by 55 gallons (Barrel) and if you know how much a 55 gal drum will hold it will get you pretty close. So yes it should be over 12,000 pounds of corn.

im gonna say this is right on, if you move the decimal place one spot. I came up with 1317 pounds

I think the OP ment it was 103 inches in circumference so this calculation is all wrong.

This thing is over 8 ft across (diameter) and five feet tall so it's going to be alot more corn than what 4 55 gal drums will hold. Using an online pipe calculator this is over a 2000 gallon tank.

[wfenner]

got ya, I thought he came back and said 103" around.

[wfenner]

which would mean the diameter is 32.8"

I was joking. It was just kinda funny that the numbers were that close but a decimal spot off.
